Another tradition is making the kids each a baby book. I do it on Shutterfly, and it is mostly cell phone photos (they are pretty good nowadays resolution wise). I make the book their first 3ish years and when I hit Shutterfly's max pages (110 iirc) then I order the book. It ends up being around $100 (that's with several discount codes including a 50% one). But my kids love to look through them and read about their early years. I update it as I go, so when they hit milestones or show what they enjoyed playing or a fun vacation I already have things to write. I actually get quite a bit of the books done during down time when I'm in my classroom (I teach part time in adult basic Ed). "Everyone says" that only the first child gets a baby book and the others are out of luck, but my mom made one for each of us growing up and we enjoyed reading them (and hers from her childhood in the 50"s). And each of my kids have one bc it was an important tradition to me.

I've been wanting one anyway and have been wanting to learn more about photography, so this seems like my chance A friend of mine is a professional photographer and offers classes for amateurs and a lot of my coworkers have taken her class and learned how to take high quality photos, thus saving them money in the end

I definitely want to do something special for each any Shutterfly sounds easy and awesome. That's super special. Thank you for sharing.
